Ali apologized to the board as he will not be able to take the new post instead of Ismail Youssef who was appointed as head of football sector since he already signed a contract with a TV channel to analyze league matches.

The board will be meeting on Monday to finalize the staff members list that will work with Mohamed Salah who will start his new role as interim head coach along with Alaa Abdel-Ghany. Also, the board is choosing between Ayman Taher, Osama Abdel-Karem and Amr Abdel-Salam for the goalkeepers manager post.
